5G: The Next-Gen Wireless Technology Comes Into Focus

Higher speed, reliability, bandwidth...

5G could offer stunning breakthroughs.

The 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which opened this week in Las Vegas, is where you'll start caring about 5G, the next-gen wireless technology that will shape the coming decade, Claire Reilly reports on cnet.com.

The shorthand tag "5G" stands for fifth-generation wireless technology. Those broadbandlike wireless speeds you're getting on your phone now? That's 4G technology. So just think about what happens next, Reilly wrote.

At this year's CES you'll hear plenty of talk about driverless cars, connected homes and the Internet of things. (Yes, we promise IoT, perhaps the buzziest of tech trends, is more than just hackable baby monitors and $400 internet-connected juicers.)

If you're excited about the prospects, you aren't alone. Tech observers see 5G as the foundation for a host of other trends. At last year's CES, Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf described 5G as the biggest thing since the introduction of electricity, Reilly added.
